On a recent trip I bought a bottle of XO Cognac I saved a few of

You are a deeply sad person.

How so?

I do the same thing. I save empty 50 ml bottles of liquor and
re-fill them at home and bring them with me when I fly. Sometimes 4
of them at a time. I always get them past screening with no
questions or issues.

Why bother?

The stuff isn't that expensive.

And also isn't there a rule by the airlines (not TSA) that all liquor
consumed in the cabin must have been supplied by the carrier?

There is, but who said they were planning to consume it on board the
flight?

Well reasonably obviously if you don't intend drinking it on the flight
you can put the stuff in a case in the hold.

It was a low-cost airline with hand-carry baggage allowance only.
